MIRA

Mass 1

09.29.17, Berlin

MIRA was an immersive performance-installation: a directed poem staged on an open film set. Inspired by Mira, a 98-year-old German woman, who frequently wandered away from her retirement home, found strolling through the streets of Chamissoplatz, attempting to open the doors of cars parked along cobblestoned streets. Holmes' would often walk her back to her residence; Mira, chatting wide-eyed about her past, fostering a connection between the two that has been woven into the narrative of this performance. The performance piece obscures memory and imagination, choreographing an interpreted portrait of her life. Viewers observe the real-time production, blurring lines between performance, film, and audience.The performance program was conceived by The Performance Agency and Supportico Lopez with Archivio Conz.
